Im 29 years old, i had the wipple in january, i just got out from the hospital 3 weeks ago. i stayed there for 3 weeks. It is not an easy procedure or an easy recovery, but with the help of my family and friends wasn't that hard. they were there everyday supporting me. All i can say its that is a slow recovery but i will be able to live a little bit more longer. I really encourage you to be there for her and after her surgery, make her walk, short distances/ 3-4 times everyday. That saves me of having pneumonia. Thinking positive is the key. i will pray for her.
God bless.

My Aunt has recenlty been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This was devestating to my family. My aunt has basically been my mother during my adult life. The doctor has decided to do the whipple procedure in two days. I"m very nervous about this procedure, as I do not know much about it. I have tried to research it online. The answers I have found do not sound very promising. If anyone out there has any information on the subject, please respond. Thank you all.
